Lattice Diamond software includes many new features. This video overview briefly covers several new features and abilities such as the new user interface, design flow, and several tool views that are available.

Lattice Diamond software includes several new key concepts. This video discusses the structure of Diamond projects and the use of implementations, strategies, and folders within projects. Additionally the video discusses shared design memory use, and context sensitive views.

Lattice Diamond software features a similar design flow to previous software with some changes and enhancements. This video describes the design process flow and the use of the Process view, File List view, and Run Manager view.

Lattice Diamond software includes a new Timing Analyzer View that provides a rich graphical interface to viewing timing constraint paths, reports, and schematics. Additionally, the ability to change timing constraints and directly run a timing analysis without re-implementing the design significantly speeds the timing closure process. This video describes the management of the Timing Analyzer files, the new Timing Analyzer UI, and how to make timing constraint changes and generate new timing results.

Lattice Diamond software includes an improved Power Calculator view. A new feature is the ability to manage power project files (PCF) directly in the File List view. This video describes the management of the Power Calculator files and the behavior of the Power Calculator view.

Lattice Diamond software includes improved Reveal Inserter and Reveal Analyzer views for hardware debugging. The Reveal Analyzer view features a streamlined interface including an updated waveform display featuring multiple cursors and rubber banding for measurements. This video describes the management of the Reveal debug files and the new Reveal Analyzer waveform changes.

Lattice Diamond software includes changes to projects that support multi-file simulation testbenches and allow different models for simulation or synthesis for a single module. The Simulation Wizard has been enhanced to parse for the simulation top and to pass this information and other options directly to a simulator. This video describes the simulation features provided with the software and their basic usage.

Lattice Diamond software includes new Tcl dictionaries that provide the ability to script the design flow and several key views. This video describes the available Tcl dictionaries and how to run Tcl commands from the UI or the Tcl console.

Lattice Diamond software includes Programmer that provides the ability to directly program one or multiple FPGA devices on the same scan chain. This video describes how to use it from the UI or outside of DIamond.
